And this is how Jason Statham become an action star The Transporter is full of action, explosions and man to man battles. My favorite moment was that with the door it was hilarious and that moment when he goes to his car and it explodes that was amazing. The film got 2 more sequels and a reboot which it wasn't that good to say the least. The acting is good, the jokes were mostly hit and the action was full from minute to minute the direction was also good it's not something that you haven't seen before but it's definitely a cult classic for Jason Statham fans and action fans in general. I give it a 10 out of 10 great movie and a great actor.

The Transporter (2002): Dir: Louis Leterrier, Cory Yuen / Cast: Jason Statham, Shu Qi, Matt Schulze, Francois Berleand, Ric Young: Title regards giving and receiving of information without care or thought of consequence. Jason Statham plays the title role whose job is to transport merchandise without asking questions. One such package happens to be an Asian female tied up in the trunk of his car. He is not suppose to look at the merchandise but upon discovering the victim he is targeted by terrorists. Typical plot is just a series of action and stunt scenes to solve absolutely nothing. The action is directed with exhilaration by Louis Leterrier and Cory Yuen but their writers are obviously lacking ambition in the creativity department. Statham was appealing in Snatch but here he drives fast, makes narrow escapes and beats up ten guys at once. Shu Qi is the hostage. After appearing in this dreadful mess she will likely need to go back into the trunk again to hide the shame. Other roles are your standard investigators and mindless thugs that fit like puzzle pieces in formula plotting. Generally they end up on the receiving end of Statham's foot up their ass. There is no point to this mayhem other than to employ senseless violence for sheer pleasure. It is a lame screenplay that should have been transported to a different screenwriter with no questions asked. Score: 3 / 10

An outlaw finds his life becoming all the more dangerous when he turns against a gang of criminals in this action drama. Frank Martin (Jason Statham) is a former Special Forces officer who lives on the French Mediterranean and has a lucrative second career as a underworld courier for hire. Martin will deliver anything anywhere, but he has three iron-clad rules - once the plan is in motion it cannot be changed, neither he nor his customers are to ever use their real names, and under no circumstances will he open the package. Martin is hired to make a delivery to a wealthy but unscrupulous American known as Wall Street (Matt Schulze), but after taking possession of the package he realizes that whatever is inside happens to be alive. Breaking his own rule, Martin opens the bag to discover a beautiful Asian woman, Lai (Shu Qi), who is bound and gagged. Lai briefly escapes, but Martin captures her, and delivers her to Wall Street as promised. However, after being given a parcel to deliver by Wall Street, Martin finds out what Wall Street is up to - in partnership with Lai's father Mr. Kwai (Ric Young), Wall Street is part of a scheme to smuggle Asian illegal aliens into France. Martin's conscience gets the better of him, and he sets out to rescue Lai and put Wall Street and Mr. Kwai out of business; however, as if this wasn't enough of a challenge, Martin discovers a French detective, Tarconi (Francois Berleand) has gotten wind of his illegal business.

I had to admit that Jason statham proved himself as a action star by way of this flick I liked him from this flick he had used his full martial arts techs to make this film watchable I am surprised by its action sequences.I Also agree that the film is boring at some points and it also includes very less action scenes but the duration of the film has overshadowed it so it is good.Plus there are some unbelievable action stunts but still I.am liking it I had not watched its sequels but I will sure watch them as I would like to see whether they are good from this.I am not disappointed by this movie I hope that the next sequels would be better than this.This flick had forced to me to become the fan of Jason statham really he is the action star I full admit it!!!
